@devbrosur Sorry, but a PR application after less than a year here and without your family has no chance of approval.

Try applying again as a family when both you and your wife completed three years in the country - best if you have a baby by then.

@Beppi: Thank you :) We have no plans to move out &  have long-term plans and commitments here.

devbrosur

Hi @Beppi my wife moved to SG 1 month after application submitted. Another qn: does it affect chance to get PR if i travel overseas sometimes?

beppi

@devbrosur Travel or other temporary absences have no influence on your PR application.

pupita

does anyone here get PR approved within 1 year time frame only on year 2023? without family ties?

Hi….

They e.mail in the 5th month after my submission of PR application.

thanks

@Tum99

No one knows if they started reviewing now or from the first month. As long as you receive a intimation at least it is a good sign that they are reviewing your application.  I would suggest you to leave it on them to comeback to you for the result. I understand the anxiety but trust me its of no use.

@AAD2023

thanks alot

much appreciated

ICA e.mail for additional documents.

is it positive or negative????

-@Tum99



It means that they need additonal documents to process your application.

Whether this is positive or negative depends on your perspective:

  • If you are worried that you will be rejected, positive: It is not rejected yet.
  • If you expect to be approved, negative: It is not approved yet.

You decide!

Hi, I heard that the 2021 and 2022 PR applications are still delayed due to the covid pileup, but 2023 PR applications have started moving and some have even been approved. Could I know if anyone in this forum got their PR application approved in 2023 after applying in  2023? If so please let me know your details like race, age, education, job, salary, family details...I just want to understand what kind of cases were approved? Also do share how long it took for approval....

@yourfaithfulness this is impossible and you are most likely not being truthful lol. It's not possible for you to get PR without including your family, within such a short period.

beppi

@BrianSundaram The user you are referring to, yourfaithfulness, was not active in this thread. Was this an accidental post intended for another thread?

BrianSundaram

@beppi thanks for letting me know. That's weird, I am positive I was responding on this thread. He/She could have deleted the comment

First time applying

surya2k

Your profile ticked all the boxes (you are belongs to chinese community - quota is highly in favour of you), married a Singaporean then getting a PR was just matter of time

Hi everyone, preparing our documents for PR, done some volunteering (both me and my wife) and hesitant whether I should mention that information or not. If yes- then how? email records from volunteer.sg or request a letter from the places I volunteered for, or not mention as it might  not be beneficial to the case?

beppi

@hrmrk Since the exact criteria are not publicised, we don't know how important contributing to the Singapore society really is for a PR applicant.

I assume it also depends on your overall profile: Somebody who is generally desirable as resident for Singapore (in the eyes of the authorities) will become PR even without any volunteering. And someone who is not desirable won't be able to change that assessment just by charity work. But in marginal or borderline cases, showing unilateral efforts to integrate and share can make the difference between approval and rejection.

That said, the efforts must also be worth mentioning: Just helping occasionally at the local CC, or once or twice donating blood, is better kept out of your application - because it might be less than expected as a default.
